(mar52) Michael and Agnes... &nbsp;I'm using the Canon S95. &nbsp;I really like it but I've found I sometimes have to use the manual settings.<br> &nbsp;<br> I just got back to Texas from a 4 night stay in Branson, Missouri. &nbsp;I'm leaving for New Orleans Friday evening. &nbsp;I'm taking lots of pictures and maybe a few will be worth posting.<br> &nbsp;<br> I'll probably be back home in a couple of weeks and hopefully I'll make it back to The Ranch Kitchen while driving through Gallup. &nbsp;I really enjoyed what I ordered.<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m656305.ashxFindPost/657474Mon, 27 Jun 2011 19:12:43 GMTRe:Speaking of New Mexico and The Ranch Kitchen... (agnesrob) Yes, Mar I'd like to know too. Your pictures are beautiful!<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/thumbup.gif" alt="" data-smiley="<img src="http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/upfiles/smiley/thumbup.gif" alt="" data-smiley="[^]" />" /><br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m656305.ashxFindPost/657007Fri, 24 Jun 2011 08:10:23 GMTRe:Speaking of New Mexico and The Ranch Kitchen... (Michael Hoffman) Mar, I can't remember what camera you have. I want to get a small one to carry instead of just toting my big Nikons. As I recall yours is a Canon, but what's the model number?<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m656305.ashxFindPost/656926Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:05:55 GMTRe:Speaking of New Mexico and The Ranch Kitchen... (CCJPO) I have found that many small towns, or former small towns in the west and south west have menus that multi task. Italian and Mexican cuisine, as well as offering great steaks are not unusual. My favorite was in a small town&nbsp; that&nbsp;offered Italian,&nbsp;Mexican, Greek and Chinese, as well as great steaks. These menus, while not always completely authentic allow us folks that live in God's Country a sembalance of taste treats not often found. We live 50 miles from from anywhere and everywhere, so different tates are always welcomed.<br> &nbsp;<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m656305.ashxFindPost/656570Tue, 21 Jun 2011 02:40:41 GMTRe:Speaking of New Mexico and The Ranch Kitchen... (mar52) I had the green sauce over the sopapilla. &nbsp;It was excellent.<br> &nbsp;<br> We'll drive through Gallup on our way back so we might go back.<br> &nbsp;<br> The combination of foods served was disconcerting, but something told me it would be good. &nbsp;I'd go back without hesitation.<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m656305.ashxFindPost/656559Mon, 20 Jun 2011 23:24:57 GMTRe:Speaking of New Mexico and The Ranch Kitchen... (lleechef) Next time try the cheese enchiladas with the green chiles. They didn't serve me any garlic bread. Just the tortilla chips wth their green chile salsa. Excellent.<br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m656305.ashxFindPost/656533Mon, 20 Jun 2011 18:42:27 GMTRe:Speaking of New Mexico and The Ranch Kitchen...

(mar52) Speaking of the Ranch Kitchen in Gallup, NM&hellip;<br> &nbsp;<br> I was there a few days ago.<br> &nbsp;<br> <img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/2d1a06f.jpg" /><br> &nbsp;<br> I hadn&rsquo;t seen any discussion on Gallup other than it was a place to stop and gas up so I reached out to Yelp and found it.<br> &nbsp;<br> We stayed just a little ways down the street from it and obviously hit it before the dinner crowd arrived:<br> &nbsp;<br> <img src="http://i51.tinypic.com/24nkyop.jpg" /><br> &nbsp;<br> Although looking at those green enchiladas I was worried that cilantro was a major factor in its greenness so I ordered the stuffed sopapillas, something I&rsquo;d never had before.<br> &nbsp;<br> While waiting for our food to arrive our waitress brought us a bowl of garlic bread and salsa.&nbsp; I was shocked when I took that first bite.&nbsp; I should have realized that salsa does not go with bread.&nbsp; After my first taste I decided that marinara is not a good choice, either.<br> &nbsp;<br> <img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/35jjasn.jpg" /><br> &nbsp;<br> The sopapilla wasn&rsquo;t like those I&rsquo;ve had before&hellip;.. little puffy squares of delight that I could break open and fill with honey.<br> &nbsp;<br> No, these were large doughish rectangles&hellip; two of them with the stuffing between them, covered with melted cheese.<br> &nbsp;<br> <img src="http://i56.tinypic.com/263x350.jpg" /><br> &nbsp;<br> The stuffing consisted of ground beef, diced tomatoes, onions lettuce, boiled pinto beans and those wonderful Hatch Chilies.<br> &nbsp;<br> &nbsp;<br> The menu at The Ranch Kitchen offers something for everyone&hellip;&nbsp; Italian, BBQ, steaks, burgers, sandwiches, salads and the area appropriate New Mexican cuisine.<br> &nbsp;<br> I highly recommend it and hope that it&rsquo;s added to the must visits on Roadfood.<br> &nbsp;<br> Sorry for the large pictures. &nbsp;I'm not on my regular computer with the paint programs.<br> <br>http://www.roadfood.com/Forums/rss-m656305.ashxFindPost/656305Sun, 19 Jun 2011 11:05:03 GMT
